Ghc-9.2.2 fails in Linker phase

Learn
#1

MacOS 12.4 aarch64
GHC installed via GHCup

❱❱❱ ghc --version
The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System, version 9.2.2
❱❱❱ opt --version
Homebrew LLVM version 12.0.1
  Optimized build.
  Default target: arm64-apple-darwin21.5.0
  Host CPU: cyclone

In order to solve some issues with the behavior of ghci I tried switching from ghc-8.10.7 to ghc-9.2.2, nevertheless while testing with a simple file, it fails with the following output:

❱❱❱ ghc ch22.hs

So far I haven’t had any problems with 8.10.7, and the ghc-9.2.2 docs state that:

The LLVM backend of this release is to be used with LLVM 9, 10, 11, or 12.

I’ve read some threads about problems similar to mine, yet haven’t found anything helpful. Any response is appreciated!

Did you try GHC 923? There are some references to linking bugs in the releasee notes: GHC 9.2.3 is now available — The Glasgow Haskell Compiler.

Yeah, switching to 9.2.3 seems to have fixed it, the problem is gone now, thanks!
